Urea Production Costs - Q2 2023
Urea Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Urea (a.k.a. Carbamide) is an nitrogenous organic compound composed of a carbonyl group attached to two amine groups, which plays an important role in many biological processes, being a product of the decomposition of proteins. Carbamide is found as white and odorless solid, soluble in water, with very low toxicity. Urea has the highest nitrogen content between all solid nitrogen-based fertilizers, and for that, it is mostly used as a nitrogen-release fertilizer.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Urea production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2023).
Prilled Urea Production from Ammonia (Self-Stripping Process)
This report presents the economics of Prilled Urea production from ammonia and carbon dioxide in the United States, through a process similar to Saipem's (formerly Snamprogetti) ammonia stripping process. In this process, ammonia and carbon dioxide are reacted to form ammonium carbamate, which is converted to Urea. The non-converted carbamate is stripped from the Urea solution by excess ammonia and decomposed back to ammonia and carbon dioxide, which are recycled to the Urea synthesis.

The cost analyses presented in the report Urea E11A target a 1,300 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Prilled Urea Production from Ammonia (CO2 Stripping Process)
This report examines the costs related to Prilled Urea production from ammonia and carbon dioxide in the USA. The process examined in this report is similar to Stamicarbon's carbon dioxide stripping process. In this process, ammonia and carbon dioxide are converted to Urea via ammonium carbamate intermediate. The non-converted carbamate is stripped from the Urea solution by carbon dioxide and decomposed back to ammonia and carbon dioxide, which are recycled to the Urea synthesis.

Granulated Urea Production from Ammonia (Self-Stripping Process)
This study approaches the economics of Granulated Urea production from ammonia and carbon dioxide in the United States through Saipem's (formerly Snamprogetti) ammonia stripping technology. In this process, ammonia and carbon dioxide are converted to Urea via ammonium carbamate intermediate. The non-converted carbamate is stripped from the Urea solution by excess ammonia and decomposed back to ammonia and carbon dioxide, which are recycled to the Urea synthesis.

Prilled Urea Production from Natural Gas
This report examines the economics of Prilled Urea manufacturing from natural gas in an industrial complex located in the United States. Initially, natural gas is converted to syngas by steam and autothermal reforming. The syngas is mixed with nitrogen to produce ammonia. The ammonia formed is reacted with carbon dioxide, to form urea via ammonium carbamate.
